Since Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968) claims that he “lost” most of his original readymade objects, Duchamp’s 1915 hatrack, as well as his urinal, snow shovel, coatrack, bottlerack and bicycle wheel and stool, exist only in a series of varied representations given to us by the artist over an extended period of time.
This page is intended as a structural assistant for fact checking the Readymades of Marcel Duchamp against inconsistencies in official records, including Wikipedia and related aggregates.
Object information was first published by Rhonda Roland Shearer, Stephen Jay Gould et. al., “Why the Hatrack is and/or is not Readymade,”
Tout‑Fait. (2000; updated 2019).
